In the end, that's what Animal Crossing is about: the endless loop of short, daily play sessions where you might be working on your debt, or see what has changed in your absence. The goals the game sets for you, such as paying off debts and building furniture for new residents, are just to unlock new systems and objects. As in real life, you will have to set your own goals to stay interested. This is not for everyone, of course, but the creative spirit who likes to build something will enjoy New Horizons for hours - if not years - of fun. Give it a shot and this virtual life will become a regular part of your real life.
